SAVE THE DATE! Join Me Live Tomorrow for AMA Saturday!

We did our first AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) Saturday last week, and we had over 300 participants! We talked about everything under the sun, from this administration’s shenanigans to recipes to scleroderma (my condition) to pets and other animals, and everything in between! It was so awesome, and that’s why we’re doing it again (and maybe again and again)!

WOW! I have the Memorandum *Just* filed by Ghislaine Maxwell Explaining Why Her Case Should be Re-Opened and It’s a Doozy!

Ghislaine Maxwell is of course trying her darndest to have her case re-opened, her conviction overturned, habeas corpus, hocus-pocus, whatever will get her out of prison. In a 26-page supplemental memorandum put together pro se by Maxwell, and just filed *yesterday* with the Court Maxwell argues violations of various rules of law by the DOJ,

YES!!!!! Quakers versus DHS!! Quakers 2 - DHS 0

Score a big one for the Quakers who, along with the Sikhs and the Baptists *sued the Department of Homeland Security* *and* Markwayne Mullin (I love that for him - oh the embarrassment of fighting *Quakers*... and LOSING!!)

Here’s Some of What the New FBI Epstein Files that I Snagged Reveal

As I mentioned a few days ago, I managed to snag and store all of the eight files that were released by the FBI in response to Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold's FOIA request.

REMINDER! I’m Going Live in 2 Hours Exposing the ‘Evidence’ the DOJ Claims Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

As a reminder, I’m going live at 2pm Eastern (in 2 hours) exposing the FLIMSY evidence that the DOJ is trying to use to reopen a dismissed criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia!

I Have the Evidence the DOJ is Trying to Use to *Reopen* the Abrego Garcia Case and I’m Going Live with It Tomorrow! Mark Your Calendar!

This past week the DOJ filed *an appeal* of the dismissal in the Abrego Garcia criminal case. That's right, they are trying to get the Court of Appeals to *reverse* the dismissal and reinstate their bogus prosecution of Abrego Garcia. AND I HAVE THE FLIMSY EVIDENCE THEY ARE TRYING TO USE! AND I'M GOING LIVE WITH IT!

YESSS!!!! 23 Cases Brought against 23 States to Get Them to Turn Over Their Voter Rolls - 23 Cases LOST!

Just today Judge Katherine Menendez of the District Court of Minnesota put the finishing touches on her dismissal of Trump's effort to get at Minnesota's voter rolls. By "finishing touches" I mean the final judgement, which is the last nail in the coffin of a dismissal - that was just issued today; the underlying order was issued yesterday. You guys, this was the *23rd* state that the…

Instant Replay Video: The Presidential Plot to Force Colorado to Bend a Knee - Live Broadcast with Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.

Thank you to everyone who joined this live broadcast about the shocking reveal of the smoking gun email, proving that the Office of the President of the United States was involved in what can only be called a conspiracy to target a state because Trump “has a problem with Colorado.” Notes from the Front members, as you know, your support is what allows …

I Have the Full Text of that 'Smoking Gun' Email Sent by the White House Telling Agencies to Brainstorm Against Colorado

In October of 2025 the State of Colorado sued Trump, alleging, among other things, that Trump's decision to move the U.S. Space Command out of Colorado was retaliation for Colorado's state-wide mail-in voting process. In fact, the lawsuit quotes Trump himself saying "The problem I have with Colorado” is that “they do mail-in voting” and that this “played a big factor” in the decision.

Appeals Court Tells Trump to Take a Birthright Tourism Hike as It Slams New EO - "What Part of the SCOTUS Order Did You Not Understand?"

Y'all remember the Barbara (first names only please!) versus Trump birthright citizenship case, right? The one for which we all held our collective breaths as the Supreme Court determined whether the Constitution had any wiggle room for Trump to monkey with birthright citizenship, right? And how we all let out a collective sigh of relief when "his own" Supreme Court spanked him over that (just as…

WHOOPEE! Or Should I Say Whoop*ss!? Court Opens a Can on Mis-Appointment of Assistant U.S. Attorney - Again

Remember waaaaay back when, on December 1st (seems *so* long ago, doesn't it?) when the Court of Appeals in New Jersey issued a unanimous decision after Trump appealed the District Court ruling which ruled that the appointment of acting Assistant Alina Habba as an Assistant U.S. Attorney was *illegal*? (You can revisit that December spanking here:…

Here are the Recording and Transcript of the 3-Hour Secret Meeting Between Epstein, Barak, and Summers in Which They Discuss Iran

Here are the original recording and transcript of the 3-hour secret dinner meeting between Epstein, Ehud Barak, and Larry Summers. I am re-releasing the original audio and the transcript because of what is going on in Iran right now and the fact that Epstein, Barak, and Summers discuss Iran during this secret meeting. Remember that Barak was still the sitting Defense Minister of Israel during this…

I Have the *Entire* FBI Drop that Just Dropped - Here's a Taste, with Much, *Much* More to Come

On Friday evening, in response to a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests from Bloomberg's Jason Leopold, the FBI very quietly dropped 8 files. Of course I grabbed them immediately to store away safely on our private dropbox. NOTE! I will be going live about it at 2pm Eastern / 11 Pacific here: https://open.substack.com/live-stream/322965

Here it Is! The Official Transcript of Today's Hearing in the Katie Phang Case!

First, you'll notice that I *didn't* say the Blanche hearing, because while the case is against Blanche, Blanche himself was not there, it was another DOJ attorney, Andrew Block. I was there for the whole call, but the acoustics were so bad - especially in the beginning - that it wasn’t distinct when he said his name at the beginning. I don't feel terribly badly about not hearing it distinctly…

Join me live soon (5:30 Eastern) for A Double Header: Blanche Hearing & Proof DOJ Broke Law with Redactions

Why Did the DOJ Redact *These* Names? I Have the Original Unredacted Document and They are *Not* Victims

Last year Todd Blanche pinky-swore that the only names that were being redacted in the Epstein drops were the names of victims (and they sure botched that, didn't they?) Specifically, on December 19, 2025, Todd Blanche said - and the Justice Department X account quoted Blanche as saying - "The only redactions being applied to the documents are those required by law - full stop. Consistent with the…

YES!!!!! Federal Court BLOCKS USPS' Mail-In Ballot Shenanigans - Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Slime Nor Trump

*Just now* Judge Talwani (ooh we love her for so many reasons and decisions) dropped her opinion and order in the case involving the post office's attempt to put into effect Trump's executive order requiring states to *upload their mail-in voter rolls* to the post office.

Just When Blanche Thought It Was Safe to Go Back In the Trump v. IRS Water...

Just when Blanche may have thought - what with having been confirmed and all - that he'd put that pesky matter of the Trump v. IRS case to rest; that the issue of him and Trump colluding and trying to pull a fast one on the Court was behind him... dun duh....dun duh... dun duh dun duh .... dun duh dun duh dun duh dun duh ... dududududududu ...
